What is Contour TRL?
Contour TRL (Tunable Resurfacing Laser) is a specialized laser treatment used for skin resurfacing, which targets the outer layers of the skin to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and hyperpigmentation. The procedure is lauded for its ability to be precisely adjusted from mild to deep resurfacing, with depth being determined by your specific skin needs and downtime expectations.
By targeting the outer layers of the skin, Contour TRL stimulates your body’s natural healing process, encouraging the growth of new, healthier skin cells. This results in a naturally rejuvenated look, making it an excellent option for those looking to enhance their skin’s quality and overall appearance.
What Does Contour TRL Treat?
Contour TRL is a versatile laser treatment that can address many of your skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles: Reduces the appearance of aging signs for a smoother complexion.
- Hyperpigmentation and age spots: Evens out skin tone by diminishing dark spots and discoloration
- Acne scars and other scarring: Improves skin texture by minimizing the visibility of scars
- Uneven skin texture and tone: Promotes a more uniform and radiant skin surface
- Sun damage: Repairs damage caused by UV exposure, completely restoring your skin
- Enlarged pores: Tightens pores for a smoother facial surface
- Sagging skin: Enhances skin firmness and elasticity without surgery
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Contour TRL in Beverly Hills?
You may be an ideal candidate for Contour TRL if you:
- Have visible skin concerns: Individuals with fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, or acne scars who want to improve their skin’s appearance
- Seek non-surgical solutions: Those looking for a less invasive option to rejuvenate their skin without undergoing surgery
- Have realistic expectations: Candidates should understand the results and recovery process and have realistic expectations about the outcomes
- Are in good overall health: A good candidate should not have any serious medical conditions that could complicate the healing process

Your Contour TRL Journey: Preparation, Procedure, and Recovery
While the Contour TRL treatment is non-surgical, it is an intensive procedure that must be performed by a qualified and experienced provider who will ensure the procedure aligns with your desired goals while personally leading you through the process.
Preparation for Contour TRL
Preparing for Contour TRL is simple and straightforward. It begins with a consultation where we’ll assess your skin concerns, goals, and go over your medical history.
- Skin assessment: We’ll evaluate your skin type and the areas you want to treat, ensuring the laser settings are perfectly tailored to your needs
- Skincare regimen: You’ll follow a specific skincare routine in the weeks leading up to the procedure to prepare your skin, which may include retinoids or lightening agents
- Sun avoidance: You must avoid sun exposure and tanning to reduce the risk of complications
- Medical prep: If you have a history of cold sores or other conditions, you’ll be prescribed medication to prevent flare-ups
- Stop smoking: Stop smoking at least a few weeks before and after the procedure to ensure optimal healing
The Contour TRL Procedure
Your Contour TRL treatment has three main steps:
- Anesthesia: Depending on the depth of the treatment, we’ll use a topical anesthetic, local anesthesia, or sedation to keep you comfortable
- Laser application: The Contour TRL laser will be precisely applied to your target areas; we’ll customize the depth and intensity to your skin type and the specific concerns being treated
- Procedure duration: The treatment typically takes 30 minutes to over an hour, depending on the area or areas being treated
On the day of your treatment, you’ll be brought into our state-of-the-art facility to take pre-procedure photos, sign a consent form, affirm that pre-procedure instructions have been followed, and then receive your topical or local anesthetic.

Following the detailed recovery instructions provided to you is critical to achieving the best results, but rest assured that the team at Sykes Plastic Surgery will walk you through every step of the way.
- Immediate care: Post-procedure, your skin will be red, swollen, and sensitive. We’ll apply ointments to soothe and protect your skin. During this phase, it’s critical to keep your skin moist with the products provided to you
- Downtime: Expect 10 to 14 days of downtime, depending on the depth of your treatment. During this period, you must avoid sun exposure, strenuous activities, and any irritants to your skin
- Healing process: The healing process and timeline varies, depending on your needs. The three phases of the healing process are inflammation, peeling, and post-peel care.
- Follow-Up: We’ll schedule your follow-up visits to monitor your progress and ensure proper healing

How to Maintain Results from
Contour TRL
Here’s how you can prolong the beautiful results of your Contour TRL treatment and keep your skin looking its best:
1. Sun Protection
- Daily sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least 7% zinc oxide every day, even on cloudy days. This protects your skin from harmful UV rays, which can cause premature aging and undo the benefits of your treatment.
- Avoid direct sun exposure: Whenever possible, stay out of direct sunlight, especially during peak hours. Wear wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, and protective clothing when outdoors.
2. Follow a Consistent Skincare Routine
- Gentle cleansing: Continue to use a mild cleanser like Cetaphil to keep your skin clean without stripping it of essential moisture.
- Moisturizing: Apply a high-quality moisturizer daily to keep your skin hydrated and supple. Choose products that are non-comedogenic and free from harsh chemicals.
- Antioxidant serum: Incorporate a serum rich in antioxidants, such as Vitamin C, to protect your skin from environmental damage and enhance your skin’s radiance.
3. Regular Exfoliation
- Mild exfoliants: Use gentle exfoliants to remove dead skin cells and maintain a smooth texture. Avoid harsh scrubs; instead, opt for products with ingredients like alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) that promote cell turnover without irritating the skin.
4. Professional Skincare Treatments
- Maintenance laser treatments: Consider periodic energy-based, light-based, and laser therapies to sustain your results. These treatments can help address minor skin issues and keep your skin looking youthful.
- Chemical peels or microneedling: Regular treatments like chemical peels or PRP microneedling may also help in maintaining skin smoothness and clarity.
5. Healthy Lifestyle Choices
- Balanced diet: Eat a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats to nourish your skin from within. Foods high in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals are particularly beneficial.
- Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and to flush out toxins.
- Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol: Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can accelerate skin aging. Avoiding these habits will help preserve your skin’s youthful appearance.
